The 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough was arguably one of the most embarrassing moments United have endured over the last ten years or so. We got absolutely battered that day at the Riverside and certainly didn’t deserve the consolation goal Cristiano Ronaldo scored at the death. The following day, there was talk in the tabloids of [...]
In the 21+ years that Sir Alex Ferguson has been in charge of United, we’ve been blessed with some highly talented players. To pick a strongest United XI, even in just the Fergie era, is something that can never be agreed upon. Beckham instead of Ronaldo? Pick two from Hughes, Nistelrooy, Cantona, Cole, Yorke and [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke out at the weekend about the poor treatment he gets from the referees in this country, claiming he will end up like Arsenal’s Eduardo, who suffered a broken leg, if the referees don’t offer him better protection. United are the most fouled team in the league this season, despite the inaccuracies Arsene [...]
Phil Bardsley has joined the long list of ex-Reds at Roy Keane’s Sunderland today, for a fee which could be worth £2 million. I know I’m not alone in feeling regretful over saying farewell to the Salford lad, who a couple of years ago looked to be the man to replace Gary Neville, in playing [...]
“It is tedious to lose one of the best players in Europe but he has not left yet,” said Jean-Michel Aulus, the Lyon president. “We can still find a compromise so that he only leaves next year. Chelsea will have to show themselves to be very persuasive for us to let him leave. Manchester United [...]
It makes sense that young and inexperienced managers would bring in players who he was familiar with. That is why Roy Keane has invested heavily in Irish players and United/former United playes. Out of the sixteen man squad that faced United today, five of them used to play for United, and that’s with former red, [...]
Manchester United play Sunderland today, travelling up to the North East to play Roy Keane’s team for the second time since he took over as boss. The first game ended 1-0 at Old Trafford, after Louis Saha came off the bench to score our winning goal. Sunderland fought well, playing an extremely defensive game, and [...]
When it was announced that United had signed teenager Anderson for a fee that could rise to £19 million, the country thought Fergie was barking. It was questioned how any player so young could be worth such a fee, particularly one that had never played in the Premiership before. The transition from one league to [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve had a “favourite player”. By favourite, I mean the player who you defend until you’re blue in the face (regardless of their wrong doings), the player you could watch for hours on end, the player you admire and brag about in equal amounts. It seems a pretty childish thing [...]
When Roy Keane returned the “shamed man” from the World Cup finals 2002, he knew he was going to be in for a tough time from the country and the media. What he deemed unacceptable behaviour from the FAI, embarrassing treatment, lead him to his decision to fly back to Manchester from Japan. When reflecting [...]
I know it’s delayed, but I thought the videos taken from the Sunderland game might be of interest. It was a great day seeing Keane return, and Solskjaer getting a chance to say goodbye. Legends. Keano Walks Out On To The Pitch “There’s only one Keano” Solskjaer Waving Goodbye “You are my Solskjaer”
Today is a day I’ve been looking forward to since the fixture lists were announced. It’s the day that Roy Keane returns to Old Trafford. I was one of the lucky 70,000 fans who got to say farewell to Keano at his testimonial, and the crowd was fantastic. Keane embodied so many qualities in a [...]
Many Manchester United fans adopted Sunderland as their “2nd team” when hero Roy Keane took over at the North East club. For all the sacrifice and hard work, for all the tackles and goals, for all the spirit and passion, Keano embodied what it meant to be a United player, and we all loved him [...]
I was one of the fortunate 69,591 fans to be at Old Trafford tonight. My tickets were in the South stand, and although I’ll usually do anything to avoid that stand because of the lack of atmosphere, I was happy with what I could get today! I was in town nice and early. By 6.30pm [...]
